Come up with some cool ideas here!

was 'blank' EQ-wise. As even as can be, designed for lots of processing, modeling and mangling.

In the bass community that is not that uncommon. Low impedance pickup with no audible resonance peak and then a 2nd order LPF to place a peak whereever you want it.

That would be cool!

The Bill Lawrence Ultrasonics were pretty flat and transparent but not everybody liked them.

I would like a Tele bridge version of the SSL-6 Custom.

How about a double slug humbucker with multiple mags on a drum, like James Bond's license plates?
It'd be big but I think it's doable.

After all, somebody made that demo guitar with a wheel of different bridge hums.

Or even a pickup with a lever to move the magnet back a bit from the poles & coils, sort of a vari-Air. Maybe on a dial?
(Not to be confused with Perri-Air™, canned in Druidia).

I want a 3 coil 59 for jazz because I like really fat and syrupy jazz tones.

I also think it's silly that the invader mag set up isn't used with alnico. 3 double thick alnico mags would fill out a PAF bridge like cray.

Would love a pckup that would allow me to boost my mids or go from medium output to high output with a push/pull

I love this idea. Preferably active so that it could drive a line-level device, like any commercial multi-band EQ. (15, 31-band etc.)

You could pretty much "dial-in" any pickup.

I would think it would almost have to be active to get the EQ that flat. I've never tried a passive pickup without a dip or a bump in the EQ somewhere.

A hot DiMarzio wired normally-parallel with a pull-for-series pot could probably do that pretty well...

 

[Synapsys]

Do Parallel Axis pickups in colors other than black count?

I'd like to see a wider variety of "rails" pickups. I assume the current stud/screw layout is due mostly to tradition. The conversion of my Ric bass pup to neck humbucker came out great. It's basically a 7.6k El Diablo. (7-point-something-k. Can't remember the exact spec.)

They should also make solderless versions of all of the pickups.

EMG has done the heavy lifting for solderless design, both active and passive. Just standardize that header connector, and the speed and ease that you could demo other pickups would be amazing.

Exactly!!

I want a pickup that inspires me to practice more instead of buying more gear

Wouldn't it be cool if they made a pickup with a neural link so you could control the level of sustain with your mind? Kind of like a Sustainiac but no switches, just brainwaves

That wouldn't work for me and my random thoughts. "Error -- 'hungry, need a sandwich' not recognized by neural link'."

That would be the best!
